Spinning wheel, also known as spinning reel, is the most commonly used reel. Compared with other reels, the biggest feature of the spinning wheel in use is that the reel cup is fixed when the reel is winding, and the fishing line is wound on the reel by the rotation of the line stopper.

Its advantage is that it is simple to operate, and after being skilled, it can be completely depended on the hand, without the need for eyes. The throwing resistance is small, and lighter rigs can be thrown. Not easy to mess up the line. The early spinning wheels were multi-point reversing, and they were gradually eliminated due to the major defect of slight gaps in reversing.
